Chen Nuo quickly turned his gaze from the endless black sea to the emergency lights on the ship. The power of technology gave him a greater sense of security.

Damn it, this woman is really troublesome. I have to go out to see her in this kind of weather. If she is my real girlfriend, it would be fine, but she is a fake...

Chen Nuo complained in his heart as he began to look for it.

This luxury cruise ship is actually very large, and the storm made it difficult to move around, so Chen Nuo's search was not very efficient.

As the search progressed, the hope in his heart gradually became slim.

He has even started planning whether he can save his life by joining an organization like the FBI if the Black Organization really attacks him.

But at this moment.

About 5 meters in front of him, Chen Nuo saw a person who was also struggling forward in the storm.

The other person was wearing a black raincoat with a large hat brim covering his face. You could vaguely see a sharp fire axe in his hand.

Because the second murder in the original novel happened on the deck, the first thing Chen Nuo thought of was that Ichiro Hatamoto had acted in advance?

But this environment is a bit wrong, isn’t it?

In such a harsh environment, it is impossible for any witnesses to come forward. What is his purpose in doing this?

Chen Nuo walked towards the other person quietly, but because of the heavy rain, the other person did not hear the sound behind him.

Chen Nuo patted his shoulder.

The man turned around suddenly and brought the axe directly towards his face.

While Chen Nuo dodged the attack, he also saw the other person's face with the dim light of the emergency lighting on the boat.

"why you?"

The person in front of him was somewhat unexpected.

.

Osaka. Hattori House.

Hattori Heiji stood in his father's study, staring at the heavy rain outside the window, lost in thought.

"It's raining heavily."

He muttered to himself, then returned his gaze to the stack of documents on the desk.

[The Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, high school detective Kudo Shinichi...]

[Kudo in the east, Hattori in the west, the battle for the strongest high school detective...]

[Kudo Shinichi disappeared, suspected to be investigating a transnational criminal group...]

In addition to these reports, there was also a photo of a girl included.

The girl was wearing the suit uniform of Teitan High School, with a sweet smile on her face and her long black hair forming a cute horn on top of her head.

Mao Lilan. Let me find the clues of that guy's disappearance from you, Hattori Heiji thought.

The only one who can be called the strongest high school student is me, Hattori Heiji.

After making up his mind, Hattori Heiji turned his gaze to the window again.

Damn it, if the heavy rain hadn't hindered traffic, I could have reached Tokyo earlier. Now I have to wait until the rain stops.

However, since he is visiting, it is better to bring some gifts. After all, this is different from investigating a criminal. His goal is to find the missing Kudo Shinichi and then compete with him.

But he didn't have much pocket money left this month because of the expenses for investigating the case.

Hattori Heiji thought about it and decided to take something from his father's personal collection.

Hattori Heiji secretly opened his father's collection cabinet and happened to see a bottle of wine at the very edge of a pile of things. He picked up the transparent bottle and took a look.

"Old Baigan?"

It seems to be a Chinese wine, and judging by the packaging, it doesn't seem too expensive.

Just use this.

Even if this cheap wine is discovered, my dad probably won't say anything.

So Hattori Heiji carried the white liquor and the documents and walked towards his room.

.

Chen Nuo originally thought that the suspicious man holding the axe was the murderer Ichiro Hatamoto, and even began to wonder if Shirley accidentally saw the murderer committing the crime and was killed as a result?

The other party came out in the heavy rain because he actually wanted to deal with the body.

He quickly looked under the cuffs of the other person's raincoat.

No items similar to the [head of a woman with short brown hair] were found.

Instead, I saw a pair of white hands that were pale from being soaked by the rain and had a few shallow scars on them.

A bolt of lightning pierced the night sky.

It illuminated the other person's pale face, which was also covered in rain.

"Xiaolan? Why are you here?"

Mao Lilan was also startled at first, and her pupils almost shrank into a small dot.

But after seeing that it was Chen Nuo, she breathed a sigh of relief and put down the axe in her hand.

Xiaolan wiped the rain off her face with her hand and said, "I was worried that you would take too long to find her by yourself, so I came out with you to help you look for Miss Miyano, but the rain was so heavy that I couldn't find you."

"Then why are you holding an axe?"

"This?" Xiaolan glanced at the fire suit in her hand. "It was blown onto the deck by the waves, so I picked it up and used it for self-defense."

Because of the storm, the efficiency of sound transmission is very low, and if you shout loudly, you will get a mouthful of rain.

So the two chose to put their faces together and use the hoods of their raincoats to shield themselves from the wind and rain while talking.

It's a bit like burying your head in the quilt and looking at a luminous watch.

As Xiaolan spoke, she kept blowing hot air on his face, and the pleasant peach scent filled the small space woven by the raincoat hood.

"But, you are not..." Chen Nuo hesitated and didn't dare to ask.

Xiaolan seemed to have guessed what he wanted to say: "You mean, shouldn't I hate her?"

Chen Nuo: "It's not that exaggerated, but at least he won't risk his life to save her, right?"

"This is different." Xiaolan's expression suddenly became serious. "How can such things be compared? The environment here is so dangerous. Miss Miyano will die here if she is not careful. Compared with life, the fight between us is not worth mentioning at all."

Chen Nuo stood there in a daze.

If these words are listened to alone, they may give people a false and empty feeling.

But what Xiaolan said was completely different.

Because she actually took action.

When the men in the cabin didn't dare to come out, she, a girl, risked her life being washed into the sea by a storm at any time, to find her love rival.

Chen Nuo also noticed that Xiaolan had many cuts on her hands, with blood seeping out but quickly washed away by the rain. She walked with a limp and her foot might have been sprained.

But even so, she did not choose to give up.

She really...has a heart like an angel.

"It's too dangerous here. You should go back first. I can do it myself." Chen Nuo advised.

Xiaolan shook her head: "So much time has passed, and no one is found in the cabin. The last hope for Miss Miyano to be alive is the possibility that she is trapped somewhere on the deck. We don't have much time."

Chen Nuo tried to persuade her but it was useless, so he agreed to her request. Then the two of them started searching on the deck.

I don’t know if it was because the cruise ship passed through the center of the storm, but the rain gradually subsided.

This also made the search and rescue work easier.

In addition, no matter how big the cruise ship is, it has its limits.

Not long after, Chen Nuo saw Miyano Shiho, who was curled up in the narrow gap between the deck and the equipment on board, near the stern of the luxury cruise ship, tying herself and the equipment together with ropes to avoid being blown away by the wind and waves.

Although he looked miserable, he seemed to be alive.

"Are you mentally ill? Why are you running up to the deck for no reason?" Chen Nuo walked over, grabbed Miyano Shiho's hair, lifted her up, and yelled at her.

It's no wonder he has a bad temper.

Going out in the storm to look for her was a big risk in itself, and I suffered a lot. In the process, I was always worried about the possibility of being liquidated by the organization if I really couldn't find her.

This caused all the dissatisfaction that had been accumulating in Chen Nuo's heart for the past few days to burst out at once.

Therefore, the actions are a bit rough.

Miyano Shiho originally thought she was going to die here, but unexpectedly, when she was about to give up, the little white mouse Chen Nuo found her.

The joy of surviving the disaster even made her want to rush over and give him a big hug.

But unexpectedly, she was picked up by Chen Nuo and scolded loudly.

Miyano Shiho suddenly felt a little aggrieved, but she didn't refute.

But... she didn't want this to happen. In the beginning, she came out in the drizzle to call her sister only because the signal in the cabin was bad.

Miyano Shiho calls her sister every night and can only fall asleep peacefully after chatting with her for a few minutes.

But when she called today, Miyano Akemi didn't answer, and she was a little worried.

So I looked for a spot on the deck with a strong signal, and before I knew it I had reached a secluded spot at the stern.

Then I was trapped on the deck by a sudden rainstorm. When I wanted to go back, it was too late. I had to hide in a small gap and tie myself to the boat with a rope to ensure that I would not be washed away.

However, in addition to making her feel wronged, Chen Nuo's scolding also gave her a strange feeling.

Chen Nuo risked his life to look for Shirley because he was worried about being liquidated by the organization. Therefore, in his eyes, Shirley was like a talisman that could protect him from death.

So when he saw Shirley, in addition to expressing anger and dissatisfaction, he also felt the intense joy and... cherishment of finding a life-saving treasure.

This emotion reminded Shiho Miyano of her childhood, when she was naughty and did something dangerous, her sister Akemi would scold her in a very stern but actually worried manner.

In her short life.

Chen Nuo was the second person to show her this expression.

This made Miyano Shiho stunned and she didn't know how to respond for a moment.

At this time, Xiaolan came up to dissuade Chen Nuo. After Chen Nuo vented his emotions, he also knew that now was not the time to talk about this.

The storm at sea came quickly, and I didn’t know when the rain would get heavier, so it was better to go back quickly.

He and Xiaolan helped Miyano Shiho back to the cabin.

After hearing the news, everyone in the cabin breathed a sigh of relief, but they also had a lot of things to ask her, but of course they had to wait until she recovered.

Miyano Shiho first went back to her room and took a shower.

Then change into clean clothes.

However, because this luxury cruise ship is not open to the public, it only provides simple standard bathrobes and no underwear.

Her underwear was completely soaked by the rain and she couldn't wear it.

Miyano Shiho stood naked in front of the bed. After hesitating for a moment, she put on the bathrobe.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"who is it?"

"It's me. The old housekeeper cooked some hot soup to ward off the cold. Would you like to drink some?" Chen Nuo's voice came from outside the door.

Miyano Shiho hesitated.

Although she was wearing a bathrobe, she was naked underneath, so she felt a little embarrassed facing Chen Nuo, her fake boyfriend.

But since her body had been exposed to the rain for so long, she also wanted to drink something hot.

So she first tiptoed to the door and unlocked it, then ran back to the bed barefoot and covered herself with a thick quilt before saying, "Come in."

After the door opens.

Chen Nuo walked in holding a bowl of soup.

"How is it? Are you okay?" he asked with a concerned boyfriend's expression.

Miyano Shiho only showed a small head and nodded gently: "Much better, thank you so much for what happened just now, I am sorry for causing trouble to everyone."
